Perdana Botanical Gardens

Perdana Botanical Gardens,
better known by its old name
"Lake Gardens", is the oldest
and most popular park in
Kuala
Lumpur. It lies just on the
edge of the city and used to
be where the British elite
built their fine homes in
colonial times.

Today, its landscaped hills
and beautiful trails provide
an escape for city dwellers
out for a jog or some early
morning t'ai chi. Its main
attraction is the lake
surrounded by lush greenery
in
a 92ha. (227 acres) parkland
that provides a refreshing
ambience.

Roam through the aviaries at
the Bird Park and Butterfly
Park. Or take a stroll
through
the beautiful Deer Park and
Orchid Garden, which are all
reachable either by foot or
by
regular shuttle buses. From
the gardens, you can also
visit other attractions such
as the National Monument, the
Planetarium and the Islamic
Museum.
